Congress clears historic health care bill



History is made!


"Widely viewed as dead two months ago, the Senate-passed bill cleared the House on a 219-212 vote, with Republicans unanimous in opposition.

Congressional officials said they expected Obama to sign the bill as early as Tuesday.

A second measure — making changes in the first — was lined up for passage later in the evening. That measure would go to the Senate, where Democratic leaders said they had the votes to pass it."


AMEN!

XOXO

Dogs. Berries. Toes. And Springtime!

My blog today would not be complete without this reference.

Good Sunday Morning All;
Let's see where I left off before whining about my pages disappearing yesterday here on Multiply? Hope they come back soon...

Oh yes!  My big toe...
That appointment went well enough, except the doctor I had seemed to be a bit hard of hearing. I was seated in what appeared to be much like a dentists chair but with a footrest, and he began speaking...  Somewhere in his litany of sentences, I gleaned the word "infected".
I tried to get the point across that I would stand on my head in the corner, run naked through town, or drink bleach, -that I would do anything but take an antibiotic.
Seems he didn't hear me say that, and I have been taking Cephalexin ever since (500mg, 4 times/day). I swear it makes me dizzy!
Know I am writing this in a dizzy frame of mind and body... hehehe

My water is an on again, off again sort of thing- But since I know where the short is, I know how to "rig" it in a flash. (That, and I don't have to crawl down there since I found an old broomstick). One day soon when I can get down there with my back I will fix it; if indeed it is fixable.

Temps were a bit chilly these past few days-
But after our frosty mornings, they still climb into the 50's later in the day.

This brings out the dogs- (And Miss Kelli too)! hehehe
She walks them to the woods,- OK, she walks, and the dogs get to run wide open! It is SO good to see after such a long time of the field being snow~covered and completely inaccessible!

The river is running high and fast so they don't go that far.
When they get back those pups are mighty thirsty...

Pity that Kelli had to bring her own water. (Pic was taken before I found the short).
.
.
Once the thirsts were quenched, CocoBean had to show off her new trick...
.

Look Closer...

That toy looks to be balancing on her nose!

Not to be outdone, Punk did her 'bored' trick... hehehe

Mr Miller really thought she was bored and brought her a toy too.
.
.
Cnv0224 
This excited her to no end!
.
.
Then she had to show off her "walk-and-chew-gum-at-the-same-time" trick.
.

.

Cnv0223 
ARF!
So what if it's a "scratch-my-toe-in-my-ear-and-stick-out-my-tongue" trick? hehehe
.
.
Mr Miller was just happy to be out and about.
.
.
Cnv0227 
He is always smiling!
.
.
.
So how warm does it have to be for you...  Cnv0245 
.
.
... before you would enjoy this?

(Keep in mind that this is Suamico, Wisconsin after a LONG cold winter).
.
.
.
As we picked up a prescription for her, Casey was a bit "boosegumply" that day.
.
.
Cnv0238 
Yet was still feeling the warm sunshine!
.
.
At least she didn't need to air condition her keister...
.
.
.
Cnv0237 
The obvious question is "why"?
(Picture taken AFTER he'd pulled them up)!
Sad. True.
.
.
Highway 172 now-  Again kids, this is wood! (And it even looks to be plywood at that)!
.
.
Cnv0230 
I know you have told me already this is normal, but methinks its creepy to build a bridge with wood!
.
.
Back home from a little shopping, Casey was all smiles!
.
Cnv0239 
Cute as a bugs rear!  hehehehehehehehehehehehe
.

.
Stopping over the other day gave her plenty to smile about too-

.
Cnv0246
Baby strawberry plants! (Her favorite)!
.
.

I'd better close for now and get on with my day-
Sputty is screaming to have his box changed...
.
.
.
Cnv0255 
He can be such a cat sometimes...

Have a 'wunnaful' Sunday!
Love to all

XOXO
Me

PS
About those potatoes and chives I'd promised...

.
.
Mmmmmmmm! Cnv0253
I'd almost eaten them all before I'd taken the picture! hehehe
